Environmental consultancy RSK Group has acquired property and construction consultancy Acies Civil and Structural Ltd for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition sees the Acies business, including around 20 employees across three UK sites - Edinburgh, London and Runcorn - transfer to RSK .

Acies will become a part of RSK’s geotechnical and engineering division under its existing leadership team Mike Rudd, Neil Clarkson and Lyndsay Waymont.

The Acies brand will also be retained and the business will continue to operate as Acies Civil and Structural Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of RSK.

RSK was backed in the acquisition by Business Growth Fund (BGF) who provided a £10m loan last year which funded the purchase of research and consultancy firm ADAS, which specialises in agriculture, food and crop production and environmental services.

RSK said the Acies acquisition will expand its footprint and provide the opportunity to add services in its UK offering.

Acies, which operates across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, is currently working on retail park developments across Scotland for AEW Europe and shopping centre extensions and refurbishment for Standard Life and Vale Real Estate.

“The company has extremely experienced and skilled professionals who share our common values.

“RSK and Acies see the provision of top-quality buildings to enhance our environments and economies, while at the same time delivering the best solutions for our customers, as an absolute priority. So, it is a really good fit, commercially and culturally.”
